    Linking data across sheets (horizontal auto fill)

    Hey guys, hope you can help me out.

    The situation is as follows:

    Sheet 1:


    Column A:
    1 a
    2 b
    3 c
    4 d

    Now i want to autofill all the values in "Sheet 1;Column A" into a horizontal column (line 1) in Sheet 2. How can this be achieved?

    Sheet 2:

    Column a Column b Column c Column d
    1 (a) (b) (c) (d)
    2

    Hi

    Link your column in sheet one cells to the row in sheet two cells. If you are not sure post a sample worksheet.

    To Attach a File:

    1. Click on Go Advanced
    2. In the frame Attach Files you will see the button Manage Attachments
    3. Click the button.
    4. A new window will open titled Manage Attachments - Excel Forum.
    5. Click the Browse... button to locate your file for uploading.
    6. This will open a new window File Upload.
    7. Once you have located the file to upload click the Open button. This window will close.
    8. You are now back in the Manage Attachments - Excel Forum window.
    9. Click the Upload button and wait until the file has uploaded.
    10. Close the window and then click Submit.

    not sure if this is what you want, but based on your example, on sheet1 A1, copied across, use this...

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4,COLUMN(A1),1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Test-sheet.xlsx

    Sorry i couldn't make it work. Please see attached file for a sample worksheet. Goal is to fill in the data in sheet two automatically (Grey area), while its linked to the test data column in sheet 1. Also i'd like to remove duplicates.


    If possible could someone describe the solution step-by-step.

    Hi

    I misread your post!

    Look into transpose.

    based on your sample data, my suggestion in post works fine, you just needed to adjust the ranges...
    =INDEX(Sheet1!$B$3:$B$18,COLUMN(A1),1)
